Androstenediol 17-acetate

Description:

Androstenediol 17-acetate, with the CAS number 5937-72-4, is a synthetic anabolic steroid derived from testosterone. It is characterized by its structural modifications, specifically the addition of an acetate group at the 17 position and the presence of a double bond between the 4 and 5 carbon atoms in the steroid nucleus. This compound is known for its potential to enhance muscle growth and improve athletic performance, making it of interest in both medical and sports contexts. Androstenediol 17-acetate is typically administered in a form that allows for efficient absorption and metabolism in the body. Its pharmacological effects are attributed to its ability to interact with androgen receptors, influencing protein synthesis and nitrogen retention. However, like many anabolic steroids, it may carry risks of side effects, including hormonal imbalances and cardiovascular issues. Due to its classification as a controlled substance in many regions, its use is often regulated, particularly in competitive sports.

Applications Androstenediol 17-Acetate is used in synthetic preparation for direct organocatalytic stereoselective transfer hydrogenation of conjugated olefins of steroids. Androstenediol 17-Acetate is also obtained from Dehydro Epiandrosterone (D229585) which is a major secretory steroidal product of the adrenal gland; secretion progresively declines with aging. May have estrogen-or androgen-like effects depending on the hormonal milieu. Intracellularly converted to androstenedione. It is used in treatment of menopausal syndrome.
